Locked tree-farms

but for what benifit?

 

Well, the idea has obviously its flaws and its virtues. And you can always wait for the saplings to grow so as the seeds not the be grabbed when you want ot move the sawmill. I think the idea is good only for specific situations, and bad for others: of course, if you got these 5 dog knights bomjumping into your base and fucking it up, you can't dedicate yourself to make a treefarm with 2 or more sawmills, or big traps; or if what the team needs is all the builders to push, then don't waste your time making a badass treefarm.

What has bothered me most in this sort of things, is players robbing sawmills from the treefarms and going into battle with them, just for the sake of fun, or because they're trolling again and again. And sometimes there's like 4 builders that get 1 or 2 trees everytime they spawn: that's when having 2 sawmills or more is efficient. It takes resources and some time to create, but I think it needs to be done to gain some advantage in terms of materials, in certain matches or episodes.

 

This isn't always a problem for me. If you just make one and it doesn't get stolen then it's all good. If it does get stolen, then just make that second saw that you would've made earlier anyway. If you tell your team not to steal it anymore then you should be ok.

This has happened before, but it sounds to me that the problem isnt waiting for your turn with the saw; instead, its waiting for the tree to regrow. This just means you need more trees, not more saws. You can have more trees without needing more saws, but if you want more trees and also have the "locked tree farms", then you will need even more saws.

Most players will understand how tree farms work pretty soon. It's not rocket science. Once they see a player using it, they will understand its use and probably leave it alone.

 

There is always time/room/resources for more saws. MORE I SAY!

@PeggleFrank: well played, sir. Well played.

Just about got thrown out of the library for laughing too loud/hard. So true it hurts.

ok, so would you rather spend the entire build phase making a stupid saw design, instead of using the time to build a tower in the front or add a few layers to your flag room. there isn't enough benefit to make up for what you lose.

 

"Man, I hate it when people steal the saw from the tree farm, then I have to buy more saws"

"I know, I'll just buy multiple saws right at the beginning and make it so nobody can steal them!"

SAW TOWERS ARE THE WAY OF THE FUTURE
